This indexing crypto strategy will make you a millionaire, explaine...

Hello my fellow Steemians and Crypto Investors,

“There’s nothing new under the sun” this famous phrase summarizes the fact that history tends to repeat itself. This keeps happening in fashion, politics, industry and all aspects of human life.

Industries, new technologies follow a pattern that repeats:

Challenge question: What do these cars have in common?

They have all disappeared! Their companies went bankrupt, their brands lost and forgotten, they didn’t make it in the race to the top. Check out the long list of defunct automobile manufacturers of the United States.

The early car industry was very similar to the crypto phenomenon of today. Thousands of car companies appeared all over, lured by the riches promised by the new car craze that was taking over the world.

Many of them shined for a while before burning to the ground. Just like it will happen to 98% of altcoins today most of these car brands disappeared forever, leaving us only with pictures and expensive toys for car collectors like Jay Leno.

The few companies that survived went on to thrive and spawned a new mega industry that made their early investors multimillionaire car tycoons.

This process happens over and over again with internet, soft drinks, gaming, movies, alcoholic beverages, breakfast cereals and even pet food companies.

Indexing Strategy by market cap catches the winners

The obvious problem with this is that investors can’t possibly know which of these companies or crypto currencies will end up succeeding in the long term.

CoinMarketCap currently lists 1603 crypto currencies. Most of them are either dead already or in the process of dying

The crypto genie is out of the bottle and no one can put it back. The industry will survive but there will be many casualties along the way.

So, what can you do to spot these winners early and invest only in them? Absolutely nothing! You just can’t, no one can! All those market gurus, technical analysists, alleged experts you see on Youtube and TV, are all shameless bullshitters fighting for your money through expensive subscriptions, newsletters or speaking fees.

Markets are efficient, which means it’s impossible, unless you have insider trading knowledge (highly illegal and a different subject for another post), to beat the market through technical analysis.

Any active traders that have made money are either lucky in the short term (long term they will get crushed) or are illegally using insider knowledge and whale club manipulation to beat the markets.

It’s all a Fugazi! As brilliantly explained in this video clip from the movie The Wolf of Wall Street.

But, don’t worry, you can exploit these efficient markets and make sure you end up at the top. The way to do this is by investing only in the top coins by market cap, regardless of other details such as white papers, their developers, road maps and such details that are usually exaggerated.

Hard cold cash doesn’t lie and cannot be manipulated. This strategy is called Passive Indexing and has been used and championed by the most successful investors of our time such as Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and mentor of Warren Buffet.

This way you will catch the winning coins on the way up. You will also catch some of the losers but that’s what real long term investing is about, managing risks.

If you only invest in lower market cap coins you may achieve a higher ROI short term but the longer term results will likely be catastrophic. By diversifying your holdings in the top market cap coins you guarantee your winners will always make up for the losses, and then some, as a new industry is born!
